“Hope Eyrie” by Leslie Fish, performed by Julia Ecklar. Originally about the moon landing, but I think it suits current events as well. It is a GOOD DAY to be HAPPY about SPACE.

Darkness – Julia Ecklar
There’s a (Am)darkness out bet(E)ween the stars that (Am)any eye can see
There’s a (G)deeper dark with(Am)in me, where no (F)light will ever (Am)be
There’s an (C)empty place be(G)side me where my (F)lover ought to (E)stand
And there’s a (Am)burning sun be(G)fore me, and the (Am)throttle’s (E)in my (Am)hand
“Darkness,” by Jordin Kare, sung by Julia Ecklar
